Please help me find an AV power cord

by jostenmeat - 2/24/08 3:47 PM

where's the best place? I tried Monoprice, nada, and CNET gave me some GE link to Amazon (but only 10 ft). Im looking for a 1-2 foot cord, and a 15-20 ft cord. (I lost one it seems, and the other is not long enough). I went to Home Depot yesterday, they don't have any, and BB only has a 6 footer.

Maybe I should try Newegg and Fry's.

Thanks for any help!

Dont see what Im looking for so far at newegg of fry's.

Pic is not the best, but Im looking for something like this:
http://shopper.cnet.com/av-cables/general-electric-ho-97895/4014-7889_9-31684953.html

Would the proper name be "three notch" or something? This is just like computer cords, right? Do they even come 15-20 ft?

Should I ask this at the computer forum instead?

Just get a cheap cord

Unless you have a low wattage (SUPER high fidelity system)Like a small tube amp with headphones. I'd recommend just getting the cheapest cords you can find. I'd check monoprice.com first. Otherwise standard cords are sold at pretty much all office supply stores, electronics stores, and I've even seen some at Dollar Stores. If you can't find a long length just buy an extension cord. Don't get wrapped up in power cord hype. It's hype... a $1 cord will work as well as a $100 cord. Spend your money on something else that has a real impact on perceived quality.
